With limited immediate needs, the Packers are prioritizing a right tackle, a defensive interior defender, and a cornerback, while also addressing a fragile pass protection unit from 2025. The 2025 line allowed 173 pressures and 15 sacks on 561 pass plays, contributing to a 83.2 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating that ranked 26th in the league.
Round 2, Pick 52 brings Caleb Tiernan, Northwestern, to Green Bay. Tiernan is viewed as a potential NFL starter who could stabilize the offensive line, even if he isn’t expected to vault into stardom. Pro Football Network notes a tape that shows a “fascinating dichotomy”—strong in pass sets and hand placement, but still developing in the run game and sometimes challenged by power rushers.
In Round 3, Pick 84, Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor is the pick. Iheanachor is described as a high-ceiling prospect with the physical tools—6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, long arms, elite foot speed—who has a promising pass set and run-blocking potential. PFN suggests he could become a quality starter at right tackle, thanks to his rare traits and development arc.
Round 4, Pick 120 adds Penn State back Nicholas Singleton. Singleton brings playmaking speed and breakaway potential, with documented velocity and a track record of big-play ability. The evaluation highlights his acceleration and seam-stretching speed, while noting vision and hip flexibility could limit his ceiling as an every-down feature back.
Round 5, Pick 158 yields Clemson defensive interior DeMonte Capehart. Capehart is praised for his run-stopping strength and length (6’4”, nearly 34” arms), projecting as a long-levered gap occupier who could contribute to improving the Packers’ run defense in meaningful ways.
Round 6, Pick 200 delivers Nebraska cornerback Ceyair Wright. Wright attracts interest for his anticipation—reading routes and the quarterback’s eyes—and his straight-line speed to close ground, traits that could help him contribute in sub-packages or as a developmental corner.
The final rounds add three more dart throws: Round 7 selections Connor Tollison (Missouri) at center, Riley Mahlman (Wisconsin) at tackle, and Xavier Nwankpa (Iowa) at safety. While their paths to the active roster aren’t guaranteed, one or more of these late picks could develop into depth pieces or even starting roles if development goes well.
